`Figure 1, perspective. Figure 2, sectionl through centre -of apparatus. Figure 3, soapstone disk or`griddle. Figure 4, soapstone disk for bottom of apparatus. Figure 5, metallic pan for steaming. -4

The nature of my invention consists in the combination of a baker, broiler, steamer, fryer, Etc., under one cover, and in the same apparatus, thewhole bein'g arranged to use' on orin the pot-'hole of a stove or range.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, lI will' proceed to describe its construction A .and operation.

I make the outside, A, of suitable meta-1, cast or otherwise, in the form as shown, or any other substantially the sume, and placing on the inside the standards B B B, for the purpose of supporting the metallic perforated disk C. d I i The lower, or that part of the outside, A, `that goes into the pot-hole, is madei of suchd size and form as 'to insure its vfitting on the stove o1' rangeperfectly, and is const'ructedAvithl adetachable bottom, Dfi'or` purposes hereinafter stated. i Y

Through the shouldenof the outside, A,I make a series of holes, E E E E, for the purpose of allowing a circulation of hot air arising from the stove to pass through the apparatus while in use.

The detachable bottom D is so constructed as to bc'readily and easily removed, if necessary, to allow a greatei` amount of heat to pass directly into the apparatus, or for the purpose of adjusting the soapstone disk F in litaplaee'for checking the heat.

I also make, and use in connectiouwith' the outside, A, the soapstone or other d iskaGr, for the purpose of baking griddle-cakes, &c.

The basin H is used, in connection with the-outside, A, and the perforated dislgC, for steaming potatoes, i

bread, &o.

To bake pies, potatoes?, Puddings, meats, 85e., use the perforated disk, C, in connection with the out-side, A',

regulating the heat by means of the detachable bottoms F-and D.

To 'broil meatsjtoast bread, &'c., use the perforated d isk, ,0, leaving out ,the detachable bottoms F and D.

To bake griddle and other cakes, place thesoapstone, or other disk, G, in the outside, A', von the standards B B, iirst taking out the detachable bottoms F and D.

I do not claimany ofthe parts when used separately, except -thc outside, Aj but What I do claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination of the several parts of a culinary apparatus,or steamer, baker, brolcr, and fryer combined, all as herein described, and for the purpose set forth.
